SWRE has outages coming in south of Electra due to a service disruption caused by a contractor for the City of Electra. This mainly affects large commercial loads but could impact residential members from County Road 1911 to Highway 25. We will work to get power restored to these members as soon as possible!

Drum roll please... 🥁🥁🥁

We are excited to announce that three outstanding eighth graders from Tipton Public Schools have been selected to attend Energy Camp this summer! At camp, they'll learn about electric cooperatives, what a day is like in the life of a lineworker, how electricity works, and more.

Join us in congratulating Geremiah Jacobo, Tynlee White, and Cole Ball!

Hey, guess what?! We're celebrating National Lineworker Appreciation Day today, April 13. THANK YOU to the SWRE crew for their unwavering dedication to maintaining our distribution system and for keeping the lights on for our co-op members. These guys are leaders in the field and they're leaders in our communities. Hometown guys: the little league coaches, the volunteer firemen, the neighbor you can rely on. We couldn't be more proud to have them on our team.

ORIGINAL POST (4/1 8:30 p.m.): SWRE is aware of outages coming in after a large line of thunderstorms moved through the territory. The White City Substation is offline. Western Farmers Electric Cooperative, our power supplier, has crews on the way to investigate and restore power to members in Texas.

We also have scattered outages in Oklahoma that SWRE lineworkers are investigating. So far, these have been caused by lightning or blown fuses.
